Large garden storage solutions can help to reduce household and garage clutter freeing up much-needed space and are an obvious way of storing garden maintenance equipment, but which style and type is right for you and what do Pent and Apex mean?

Apex

An apex shed is probably the type most commonly thought of when thinking about a garden shed. It has a pitched or inverted ‘V’ shaped roof creating ridge height and access is normally granted through a single or double door positioned on the front gable. Windows are located, except on the Value Range, down one of the side panels.

Pent

A Pent Shed changes the orientation and positioning of the garden shed when compared to the apex shed. Instead of a pitched symmetrical roof, the pent shed has a sloping roof with the highest point being situated at the front of the building and reducing in height at the back. Access is granted from the front of the building as opposed to the gable ends of the apex shed. Windows are located on the same front panel as the door.

Workshop

When you require a larger sized Apex shed for a more productive environment or if you just need more storage space then Garden Buildings Direct’s range of workshops offers you a set of buildings that fit these needs.

Contemporary

Why do all wooden sheds have to look the same and be the same shed size? AtGarden Buildings Direct we believe they don’t have to and that’s why we have buildings that have a more creative design to them. They have all the same quality and performance attributes as other sheds do, but they will help to give your garden a more individual look.
